Top, I believe you misread the Fidelity change. I think once you flipped, you were essentially banned from further IPOs unless you pleaded your case big time. Below is from Fidelity website, I don't believe there were defined limits before and the penalty is still pretty severe:

The defined period of time which you will be prevented from participating depends on how many times you have flipped shares in the past and a breakdown of those ?exclusion? periods are listed below:

-The first time customer sells shares of an IPO obtained through Fidelity in first 15 calendar day they will be prevented from participating in IPO process for 180 days.

-The second time customer sells shares of an IPO obtained through Fidelity in first 15 calendar day they will be prevented from participating in IPO process for 365 days.

-The third time customer sells shares of an IPO obtained through Fidelity in first 15 calendar day they will be prevented from participating in IPO process permanently.
